The couple have an exclusive media deal with OK! magazine, but Surrey Advertiser photographer Steve Porter managed to snap the radiant bride minutes after the ceremony at Guildford Register Office.

She recognised him from local events and treated him to a beaming smile. Flanked by minders, the couple, who live in a mansion in Dunsfold, went to great lengths to protect their rumoured six-figure deal with the magazine. They intimated the wedding was at the weekend, but in case the real date slipped out, they set up a decoy photographer in the gardens to distract any paparazzi. The Surrey Advertiser captured Anthea as she disappearing in her Land-Rover guarded by one of her minders.

New husband Grant disappeared minutes earlier in a separate Land-Rover. The bride wore a shocking pink, floral summer dress, and Grant, a keen polo player, sported a greyish blue suit. Anthea is well known in the local area, as she threw herself into community events when she first arrived in Dunsfold. The pair recently attended the Ewhurst's Hurtwood Park Polo Club. She switched on the Cranleigh Christmas lights, lit the Dunsfold bonfire, opened the Cranleigh Infant School summer fair and the Dunsfold village school fete. The couple have applied to Waverley council to expand the commercial tree nursery on their estate.

The couple are understood to be having their marriage blessed in church on Saturday prior to a lavish star-studded reception in the grounds of their mansion. There are rumours guests are banned from carrying cameras in order to preserve the OK! exclusive. Secrecy surrounds the venue for the blessing. Dunsfold church appears to be out of bounds as the vicar is away while the building is being limewashed. Talk of an air exclusion zone to be set up around the property was dismissed as nonsense by the Civil Aviation Authority. The honeymoon couple will then jet off for a safari in Africa.
